Interesting article but they did not include the way I learned from Melissa Morgan-Oakes in her TAAT TU sock book. If I remember correctly, she gives credit to someone else for the method and I find it works well and when I've taught others, they liked it also.

I still find the simplest method is to work into a crochet chain. Chain half the stitches, knit a row in the top loops, then one in the bottom loops. Caroline Markey does a demo on YouTube.

Maybe Judy's Magic Cast On?

Maybe Judy's Magic Cast On?

Yes, thank you!! That is the one I use and teach and gives a lovely toe w/o ridges, Kitchener, or anything else that i don't like. I learned with 6 on each needle when finished but have figured out socks fit my feet better with 10 or even 12 on each needle. Try it, you just might like it!

That is the one I use and teach in all my classes.

Exactly, and I like Judy's well enough that i probably won't try any of the ones they showed.

Love the Turkish. I can't seem to get the rhythm of Judy's.

My favourite is Maryna Shevchenko's Sneaker Socks cast on, for toe up socks. Worth trying in my opinion

Thank you, I didn't know about two of them. The square start and the magic loop start. Both easy.

Will save this for that rainy day....
